The RSS-affiliated ABVP on Wednesday said it has instructed its office bearers in DU students' union (DUSU) to shift the busts of Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Veer Savarkar that were installed outside the Arts Faculty, till the time permission is taken from the authorities.

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad-led Delhi University Students' Union had installed the busts on Tuesday outside the Arts Faculty without permission, leading to a controversy.

ABVP's state media in-charge Ashutosh Singh said installation of the busts was an initiative of the DUSU. The ABVP is of the view that it should have been done with due permission.

Shakti Singh, DUSU president said, "We are in talks with the university administration over the issue."
A senior ABVP functionary said, "It (ABVP) has a clear view that the statues should be installed on the DU campus with the permission of the varsity administration and other concerned authorities."
